This past weekend was really what the doctor ordered. Friday was a movie date followed by a quick drink at a nearby establishment before calling it a night. Saturday was a cookout with family, seeing folks I hadn’t seen in a while, in some cases, years. Sunday was chill mode in full effect. When I tell you all I needed was an umbrella drink or a brew on my couch yesterday, man—whew! Breeze was coming through just right. I don’t even drink like that, but that would have been a great time to have a frosty liquored beverage. Yessir!.

Anywho, Star Trek was rather entertaining. And while I don’t know how many pre-adventures they can sneak in before it seems gratuitous and self-indulgent, I have to believe we’re gonna get at least one more outta that cast, which was put together very well, I might add. The plot wasn’t the strongest to be honest, but all the fun was in seeing the classic characters from when they were young. It was quite entertaining. Also got to see the Transformers and G.I. Joe trailers, which had me geeking. I am a bit skeptical about the Transformers sequel, but the latter trailer still doesn’t have a high level of expectation for me. I just want to go and see some action, and hopefully, I’ll hear Cobra Commander yell “Cobra” like in the cartoons!

Also, while waiting for my movie to start, I wrote down this quick little poem that is now entitled “Amen Corner” (formerly China Town Blues). If I remember to, I’ll post the poem in my journal so you can read it. Nothing life changing or grand, just good to be writing.

I can’t wait for this weekend. Get a chance to unwind, and hoping to see a lot of people and listen to some good music.
